TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE KROTZING EIgwf the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a new and useful Play or Game, entitled GeorgesNew Game; and do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawingsforming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a frojntelevation,

Figure 2 a side elevation, and

Figure 3 a plan or top view.

This invehtion relates to a new play or game, and consists of aplatform, on which is placed a crane, from whose neckor mouth'aresuspended a string and ball, and also ofa framework attached'to the bodyof the crane, in which'are placed tilting bars, which are struck by theplayer with the suspended ball,'and tilted, the number of times the barsare tilted innine attempts being recorded by markers, which are placedona string of wire similar to those used with billiardftables forrecording the game. i V

In the said'drawings, A represents the platform, B .the body of thecrane, C the neck, D the mouth, in which is placed a. traveller, E, towhich the upper end of the string F is attached, while at the other endof said string the ball G is suspended. The traveller E can he slid inthe mouth D by the player, so as to bring the ball opposite to anytilting bar he may desire. H is the framework, in which are placed thetilting bars J J, etc. K is a. rod, on which the tilting bars turn; 'Lis-the rod, on which the tilting burs rest before they are struckby theball; and M is the string frame, in which the markers N N, etc., slide.

To play this game, the player takes hold of the ball between hisfingers, as shown in fig. 2,-and throws the ball against the tiltingbars, audhis success depending'on the number of times in nine attemptshe will throw thctilting bars upwards, (there being nine tilting barsand ninemarkerm) the times he is successful in throwing up the tiltingbars, as, for instance, six in' nine attempts, he records by means ofthe sliding markers. The next contending party tries his luck in asimilar way, and should he succeedin throwing up seven of the tiltingbars out of nine attempts, he is of course the winner, and so on. Thisgame, which is very simple, may be played'in turn by a number ofplayers, afiording pleasure and amusement to all.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

The-above-described construction and arrangem-entpf parts, constitutinga new game for players, substan tially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this 17th day ofOctober, A. D. 1867.
